We have seen couple of guides circling the web which “claimed” downgrade from iOS 4.x to previous OS versions like 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 on iPhone 3G/3GS and iPod Touch 2G/3G.

I also had a little conversation with video up-loader and he claimed the guide as working for iPod 2G/3G in particular and any 2nd or 3rd generation iDevice in general.
